The Black Weblog Awards: Put One Down for The Daddy

Listen up. The Daddy is interrupting his vacation to talk to you. DaddyBstrong has been nominated for an award in 4 categories: best culture blog, best writing blog, best new blog, and blog of the year.

The Daddy is asking for your vote. The voting began on June 20th and will end on July 25. So The Daddy is writing this post, because it's getting kind of late.

The Daddy believes that daddyBstrong deserves your vote and here's a few reasons why:

First, The Daddy works hard to write quality posts not only on the current affairs of the day but meaningful posts almost every day.

Second, The Daddy writes the posts in such a way as to elicit and promote responses from you, the reader.

Third, The Daddy has written several educational series. One was on the Kwanzaa holiday throughout the seven Days of Kwanzaa. Another was on poets, especially people's poets like Walt Whitman, June Jordan, Langston Hughes, and Wanda Coleman. He did another on how to handle crises during these stressful times. He even did a series on the financial crisis.

Fourth, you, the reader, consistently write quality responses to each posts. In fact, some of the responses are not from something The Daddy said but to other responders as well.

This not only makes good conversation. It also makes the blog more like a collective blog, a blog of both The Daddy and readers, and not just a personal blog of The Daddy. This is as it should be.

So The Daddy is asking you to go ahead and put one down for daddyBstrong. It would really be a vote for you as well.

To vote, click on the Weblog Award poster and you'll be on your way.

Thanks.
